Hi Dave, all
(1) PMC members have a higher bar for their vote. I did not vote at
all because I did not build from source etc.
I agree that it is good that some users replicate the building procedure
and confirm that it works.
Replicability is a good measure of transparency and quality.
In any case I couldn't find that particular requirement for a PMC member
in the voting page (https://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html).
this webpage explains just the general process. Voting for a release is
a bit more special and therefore described here:
https://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#release-approval

(2) Would you name projects where you have felt discouraged? Have you
felt discouraged here in past years?
This is the only Apache project I collaborate with (I have been
collaborating with several other FOSS projects for a long time).
Actually just reading the ASF rules discouraged me to become a committer
(I was invited in the past) and still does.
We know everyone helping is needed. It was great to have a long
standing member of the user community like Larry vote to alert us to a
problem with macOS!
Agreed. That is why the "*and all others are either discouraged from
voting (to keep the noise down)*" is particularly unnecessary (if not
offensive).
